| Description |
In Reading and Writing and Teens: A Parent’s Guide to Adolescent Literacy, Cathy Fleischer, an English professor and mother of teenagers, helps navigate through the sometimes overwhelming messages you hear about adolescents and literacy. In clear and compelling language, she explains what current research tells us about reading, writing, technology, and standards and testing—and gives specific suggestions for what you can do to help your son or daughter succeed, both in school and outside the classroom.
